Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Make me your Dream Life 83,211]

I got my copy around 9:30ish this morning at target. Y'all need Jesus

Cool. Already got the digital, but wanted to see what the poster was all about. Night owl adventures lol

Every song on this album is an experience

(ps @Elle could you give me my PMs back now? you said in february i'd have them back after release, and here we are in the post-release thread) 

[Neptune-Avenue 220]

Don't get it unless you like your booklets like this. I'm upset and feel tempted to buy another copy at a different store. I hate fold-up booklets. I also can't hang the poster up without ruining the booklet now too.

wait does that mean if you hang up your poster there is no longer cover art in the cd?? Bc that is so sad

Get those metacritic points bitch! Snatch the fuck out of those gross lorde stans

[Doll Harlow 12,350]

After listening to the album a few times... here's some quick thoughts

Pink: I loved the songs. Blue: I liked the songs. Green: Meh. Red: I disliked the songs.

 

1. Get Free (very iconic and her best album closer EVER)

2. Heroin (some of her best work. it has such a fitting sound for the subject matter.)

3. Tomorrow Never Came (so perfectly 70s)

4. Cherry (just so catchy)

5. Groupie Love (it makes me feel high)

6. Love (great album opener. i love the overall sound.)

7. White Mustang (there's something melancholy and cool about it. love the whistling.)

8. 13 Beaches (i didn't like it at first but it grew on me.)

9. WTWWAWWKD (those high notes though.)

10. Change (i'm so glad that she added this, it really helps the record come full circle conceptually.)

11. BPBP (i don't think lana and stevie sound great together, but my opinion may change.)

12. Lust For Life (the weeknd's voice is meh for me.)

13. Summer Bummer (i didn't like this as a single but it adds a cool feel to the album.)

14. God Bless America (i just thought this song would be stronger. not a fan of the beat.)

15. In My Feelings (i love the lyrics but i don't enjoy how it sounds in general. kind of annoying. don't kill me)

16. Coachella (her weakest song tbh)

And that the poster is all creased if you hang it up. Idk I was kinda imagining a rolled up poster which I know would cause packaging issues etc but come on who wants a poster with 10,000 creases in it

the cd is prettier than the cover anyway.

Yes that's exactly what it means. Poster on one side, album artwork on the other.

[wraith 7,276]

the second half of this record has been slaying me every time i listen to it. tracks 10-16 bitch did that!

[cherryblossoms 10,274]

I kept getting shivers from Tomorrow Never Came

[Veinsineon 70,585]

GBA is supposed to transition into WTWWAWWKD but spotify messes that up 

[Coney Island King 25,066]

coachella is the best song on the album

YOU TRIED IT

[WildMustang 14,725]

You said you loved me like no tomorrow but tomorrow never came...

[Lotus 483]

Why did Lana only put one song lyric on the booklet? It doesn't make any sense, tbh. 

[terusama 4,427]

Okay really weird but has anyone listened to LFL the title track while baked and it felt like it lasted years? Im listening to it now and I swear it feels like it's been 20 minutes

[ReyDelLana 371]

Wow the trolls on metacritic:

 

"The album is garbage, and Lana releases boring music. Slow melody, howling on the background. But the great Gaga has everything: a beautiful figure, a chic voice, magnificent performances. I advise you to listen to it, than to waste time on Del Rey."

[Jiggy 1,024]

a lot of questionable choices this era...

 

Why were the NK shoots snubbed?

[Lotus 483]

Why were the NK shoots snubbed?

Yes! I loved the outtakes, definitely the one of her sitting on the ground in a bedroom and the ones with her standing outside with that beautiful dress, I can't believe why you wouldn't do anything good with those gorgeous pictures.

except she's not

[Lotus 483]

I know the score will change because more reviews will come - but Lana's Lust for Life has now the highest metascore of all her albums. Hopefully she will get atleast ninety, or more, so she has a bigger score than Melodrama, tbh (I don't hate Melodrama though, I just wish she's going to get great reviews, too)
